I have a new Spring Boot web application that I want to connect to a JNDI data source (a MySQL database defined in Tomcat's context.xml).
However when I attempt this, I always get the following exception;
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Cannot determine embedded database url for database type NONE. If you want an embedded database please put a supported on on the classpath.
This is despite my pom.xml containing the MySQL connector

I have defined my application.properties as follows to use the jndi-name property.
spring.datasource.jndi-name=java:comp/env/jdbc/twojndi_ds1
spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect
However despite that it seems Spring believes that an in-memory database should be used.
I am able to connect to the MySQL database if I define my application.properties as so
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/twojndi_ds1
spring.datasource.username=twojndi
spring.datasource.password=twojndi
spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect
Can anyone help me connect to JNDI with Spring Boot?
